Sports-Comfort seats on 4.8is?

Does such a thing exist? I believe mine are just comfort seats:



But would like more lateral support. What option package included "sport" + "comfort" seats on the 4.8is?

When I look up e53 sport seats I see better bolstered seats but don't have the same seat cover details on them.

I dont think there is a combination, just one or the other (Sport Seats/Comfort Seats)

I've owned both, and as nice as the Sport Seats are - I prefer the Comfort Seats. More movement options

Take a look at these seats from another 4.8iS.

Same leather design but the thigh support extends and has better bolsters.

Those are sport seats.

Note that the passenger seat in your pic does not show the 'hinged' plastic backing for the seat adjustment at the top like the comfort seats do.

I wonder if you could take the bottom cushion from a sport seat and install it on a comfort seat to get a better-bolstered seat.

  • 6-way lower cushion movements
  • 2-way seat back movements
  • 4-way lumbar feature (OPTIONAL which make it a 12-way seat)
